Time Travel! Who would have thought that a job in a mysterious laboratory would mean finding a way to travel through time!

What awaits on the other side?

Imagine you are standing in a sarcophagus where you have enough space to move and look around. You don't see your partner anymore, even though you were just together. But wait! You do hear his voice not far from you. Actually, you just wanted to play a "normal" Escape Room, but our "Mummified" game is definitely not! This game is all about you and your teammates - only two people can solve the puzzles, only two people can escape from the Egyptian burial chamber. Never before has a game of ours been so much about teamwork as this one. Communication and initiative are the key to success. Although .... there are no keys in this game. No locks either because you will find yourself in an ancient Egypt setting. A lot of other secret mechanisms and many puzzles await you.

“Highest recommendation. It’s rare to find a game designed for exactly two players, and even rarer to find one where the division of labor and information is balanced so that both players are fully engaged throughout the experience. This game does a nearly perfect job — it’s my favorite two-player game of all time. Every puzzle (and the game is a nonstop puzzlefest) requires the two players to collaborate, share information, and work together. There’s a story but it’s not the main focus: you’re trapped in separate deathtrap rooms in an ancient pyramid and you need to work together to get out. Do note that they really do mean it when they say it is for exactly two players. There’s not enough room for more people and honestly the design is just right. If you want to know whether you’re on the same wavelength as someone, this game would be a great way to find out!”

THE TEMPLE is Vienna’s first feature film length escape experience. It employs a number of innovative concepts and effects to create a new level of immersion and storytelling. It is a dark mystery adventure with some slight horror elements. Make sure your e-mail is entered correctly, when completing your booking, as you may receive communication from the archeological team a few days prior to your excavation.

“A brand-new and very elaborate room. For us as frequent players, the gameplay was incredibly smooth and a lot of fun! Some of the puzzles were complex and a bit challenging, but never too difficult. We didn’t need any hints. A tablet—which was part of the game and kept displaying short videos—made the experience even more immersive! A real highlight in Vienna.”
